The film is about a girl named Hanna (Ronan) who has spent her whole life training with her dad in the Arctic to be warrior and to hide from the CIA. When her dad allows to finally to go out into the world to kill the head of this CIA operation played by Blanchett. After thinking she has killed her mark she tries to integrate back into the world, however with this Black-ops group still following her it will be hard for her to get close to anyone because with bad people following her its possible they will get hurt too.
The film is a success because of three things. The character of Hanna is a very complex one which Ronan hits it right on the head, she is able to catch the deadly side, and the vulnerable side. Joe Wright's visual style is like no other here, he films the action scenes so weirdly and intensely that makes you feel almost like you are on drugs in some parts. Finally the Chemical Bros. score is also one of the best I have ever heard.
My only criticism with this is not even the film itself, its with the MPAA forgiving this a PG-13. There really violent moments to this, that I thought no way this can e PG-13. What can I say America loves violence, but sex and the King of England saying the F-word sixteen times is bad. However it is not a complaint I have with film personally.
Hanna has many allegory to fairy tales like little red riding hood, it is also interesting to see how she has to come to understand the world after being isolated from it. Hanna has never heard of music, so when she finally hears it is cool to see her act like a child and go crazy over it. After all she never really had a childhood to begin with. Overall I strongly recommend this movie.
